I actually used the uart_port structure in older RFC versions of the
patch. Alan Cox advised to use struct tty_port because of consistency.
More precisely he said (in an e-mail from Aug 12):
I'd rather however it pointed
to the tty_port that each tty device has (or very soon will be required
to have). You can still find the uart_foo structs from that but it means
we can do the dev_set_drvdata() in a consistent manner for all tty
devices in the kernel. That in turn means we can make some of the sysfs
valid the same way.

It seems that making
static const struct attribute *tty_dev_attrs[] = ...
produces warning:
drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:2334:2: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:2334:2: warning: (near initialization
for ‘tty_dev_attr_group.attrs’) [enabled by default]
But others can. I am going to make them const in following patch.

Yes. In fact it does the same thing as tty_register_device() did
before itself. The _attr version is only slightly refactored and the
doc regarding the TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV test is the same as in old
non-_attr version.
I am not sure that I am the right person to change the doc because I
am not an author of this part of doc nor of the test in the function.

Yes, it looks better. I am going to it accordingly.
